You will really enjoy it. Don't pay too much attention to all of the skeptics on this forum saying the BS-8 is cheap and badly designed. Sure, it's not a $5000 sound system, but for $1000, it delivers the expected sound quality with an avant-garde look. You can't go wrong!

I bought one for Christmas, and after playing it for my family, even my brother, who is terribly frugal, now wants to purchase one for his home.

I totally agree.

ALthough I'm one of the non-buyers due to lack of link, I have to admit that I already tried it and it's excellent. By far, better than any other on the market.

Sound is very impressive.

I did have a listen to it a week or so ago and very impressed!!! Much better than the Bose/ Bower Wilkins equipment!

I have mine now for two weeks playing in our summer house, and I love it.

The sound is great (for the price) even at high volume.

Only, the remote... It is too light imo, they should have added some weight and a aluminium in stead of plastic ring around it.

But still: highly recommended

It's a great bit of kit and sounds very good. You need to discount most of the comments from the smart arses in this forum and just enjoy it. I've had mine since before Christmas and it's taken me some trial and error to set up the radio alarm because the free B&O app is rubbish. 20 radio stations none of which I'd want to wake up to and it appears the paid-for app is going to be €12.99 - gimme a break!

But no regrets, I'm chuffed with it.
